People forgot this awfully quick for some reason. DeCastro was mentioned many times as a top 10 or even 5 prospect leading up to the draft but the NFL front offices don't value interior linemen in the same degree that the fans do. Not only is G one of the least impactful positions in the NFL but it does very little to bring the casual fans in the seats like a QB, WR, or pass rusher would. Since Warmack and Cooper are slightly better than DeCastro, I'll say the highest either of them gets is to the #16th spot. There are just too many defensive players with quality athleticism and teams that sorely need offensive skill position help to grab a G that high.

I saw him as high as #2 on Top 100 lists. the only thing is this draft lacks 1st round quality prospects and Cooper / Warmack are 2 that are actually worth 1st rounders. So thats the difference between the Decastro draft.Still im pointing out is no Guard is a slam dunk top 15 pick by any means

I'd much rather Werner or Ansah.. But Warmack is a powerful run blocker whos complete player and plays with a nasty mean streak, and i believe will be a perrenial probowler for yrs to come, but i'd still rather a more impactful 1st rd pick, like Ez Ansah , Bjorn Werner, or Alec Ogletree...
